Trauma-informed Education
Providing Safe Spaces for Students
Trauma is common and plays a complex role in our lives. Rangatahi/young people will experience trauma in different ways and at different stages of their growth and development. This will impact their sense of safety and belonging, and in turn, their ability to engage at school.
Trauma-informed Education is an approach that uses knowledge about trauma and its effects to create safe learning environments for young students - environments that cultivate connectedness and empowerment, model empathy and promote inclusion.
This workshop covers:
Trauma in the classroom
What is Trauma-informed Education and where did it come from?
What being a trauma-informed educator looks like in practice
How you can safeguard yourself when teaching sensitive content

This workshop is worth 5 points/2 hours CPD.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is designed for anyone working in education and working with young people.
Why should you attend?
While we can’t resolve the challenges our ākonga face, we can all work to provide safe spaces for them to learn and thrive. This webinar will provide an opportunity to reflect on HOW we teach and interact with ākonga, and will identify ways to upskill and improve our practice.

Presenter: Marge Pryor
Marge joined Empowerment Trust in 2019 as a facilitator educating youth with ACC’s Mates & Dates, a healthy dating relationships programme, arming rangatahi with information to strengthen their resiliency, raising awareness on the importance of sexual violence prevention. She has also worked as a foster mentor, Youthline counsellor and life coach, and brings years of experience from her time in the corporate sector.
Born and bred in Aotearoa, Marge has a love for travelling the world. She enjoys the variety of cultures, cuisines and values that make each nation. She is a proud mother of two adult children who inspire her to learn more and do better. In her own time, Marge loves going to live music events, spending time with whānau and friends and is bit of a self-development junkie.

We work hard to ensure that all workshops are cost effective by automating our systems. If you require an invoice (rather than paying by credit card) there will be a $25 surcharge for this, and you will need to supply:
The full name and postal address required to appear on the invoice.
The contact name and email of the person(s) responsible for authorising this expense and approving payment.
Any purchase order references required on vendor invoices.
